Since its inception about one year ago, the community initiative to make Apache Spark a data processing engine for Apache Hive (HIVE-7292) has attracted widespread interest from developers around the world and gone through phases of rapid development,

Now there’s an even quicker “QuickStart” option for getting hands-on with the Apache Hadoop ecosystem and Cloudera’s platform: a new Docker image.

You might already be familiar with Cloudera’s popular QuickStart VM, a virtual image containing our distributed data processing platform. Originally intended as a demo environment, the QuickStart VM quickly evolved over time into quite a useful general-purpose environment for developers, customers, and partners. Today,

Combining CDH with a business execution engine can serve as a solid foundation for complex event processing on big data.

Event processing involves tracking and analyzing streams of data from events to support better insight and decision making. With the recent explosion in data volume and diversity of data sources, this goal can be quite challenging for architects to achieve.

Complex event processing (CEP) is a type of event processing that combines data from multiple sources to identify patterns and complex relationships across various events.

Learn how to build an Impala table around data that comes from non-Impala, or even non-SQL, sources.

As data pipelines start to include more aspects such as NoSQL or loosely specified schemas, you might encounter situations where you have data files (particularly in Apache Parquet format) where you do not know the precise table definition. This tutorial shows how you can build an Impala table around data that comes from non-Impala or even non-SQL sources,
